No response. I LOVE the idea that more people would complain. One problem already mentioned is that you are stuck sending users through something remarkably like an old gopher path! Click "geography", then "x" then "y" then "z..." As a librarian I'm always sending OTHER people to useful places. It doesn't matter much that *I* know how to get there. The other problem is that it's not always obvious to novices when they've moved off the Mining Co. site. Tsk tsk. Ilene Frank, Reference Dept.
